Evening guys.
I'm looking to get into 3d printing, I have a few projects that are beyond my capacity on my lathe that I know a 3d printer would breeze through. But it's only any use if they will stand up to engine temps. Perhaps 70°C continuous with a fuel and oil resistance.
Looks like ABS would do the trick.
If we agree ABS, it seems that rules out the entry level machines due to the temps required is that right?
Any tips or pointers?
Cheers
